We travelled by louage and the ferry Ulysses to the island of Djerba........ that faraway atmosphere and gentle landscape bathed in light, that fascinating island where, it is said, Ulysses companions, intoxicated by the mysterious lotus fruit, lost all desire to leave.........
It is the Tunisian Gold Coast with luxury hotels full of Europeans who fly in and never leave the hotel until they fly out again. We have swum in the balmy sea but having found no lotus fruit in the market place, we leave again tomorrow.

Ooooh, I would have had to find a lotus fruit, just to see if it worked!
Yes but Lotus Eaters come to a Bad End (just look at Coleridge).
How weird though, just staying in a hotel and not doing anything.
